RECOMMENDATION GC-71a-2009:

Whereas, Ontarians believe in the principle of fairness; that fairness defines who we are and how we live;

And whereas, the high growth communities in Ontario grow at more than twice the rate of the provincial population growth rate and are aging at twice the provincial rate;

And whereas, population growth in these regions will further intensify due to Ontario’s 25-year growth plan, Places to Grow;

And whereas, as of 2008/09 Ontarian’s residing in the Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) within high growth communities are receiving $255 less per resident in provincial funding for local hospital services compared to residents in other LHINs in Ontario, which translates into a $1.4 billion annual operating funding gap for local hospital services – and these provincial funding gaps are worsening each year;

And whereas, residents of the Region of Peel as part of the Mississauga-Halton LHIN and Central West LHIN are receiving $272 less per resident in provincial funding for local hospital services compared to the average Ontarian, which translates into a $272 million annual operating funding gap for local hospital services;

And whereas, Ontarians living in high growth communities of the GTA/905 are receiving $193 less per resident for provincially funded local social services when compared to the average Ontarian, which translates into a $641.9 million annual operating funding gap for local provincially funded social services – and these provincial funding inequities also worsening each year;

And whereas, the Government of Ontario has acknowledged the growing funding gaps for hospital services in high growth communities by committing during the 2007 provincial election to provide $100 million in additional annual operating funding to high growth hospitals;

And whereas, the provision of $30 million in hospital growth funding for 2008/09 still means that the provincial funding gap for hospital care continues to widen in high growth communities;

And whereas, the Government of Ontario has announced that it is developing and will implement a new Health Based Allocation Model (HBAM) to allocate new health care resources to Local Health Integration Networks based on patient care needs and to address health care funding inequities in Ontario;

And whereas, the Government of Ontario has successfully secured from the federal government greater fairness for Ontario resulting in additional funding for Ontario through the Canada Health Transfer;

Therefore be it resolved, that in order to improve timely and local access to health and social services in the Region of Peel and across high growth communities in Ontario, the Council of the Region of Peel asks the Government of Ontario to:

Speed up implementation of the $100m hospital growth funding commitment ensuring that growth funding is targeted to high growth hospitals and provide growth funding for social services;

Develop a health and social services growth plan for Ontario high growth communities to complement Places to Grow,

And further, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, the Minister of Finance, all Peel-area MPPs, High Growth Communities Mayors and Chairs, and the Mississauga-Halton LHIN and Central West LHIN.

Whereas, the Region of Peel is responsible for the collection and processing of waste for over one million residents in the Region;

And whereas, entrenching extended producer responsibility (EPR) principles into the policy framework of provincial diversion programs will ensure industry stewards are responsible for the cost of managing their products and packaging once they become waste;

And whereas, the Region of Peel has been a long-term proponent of EPR; and has, along with other municipalities, been advocating for the introduction of EPR programs in order to correct the current disincentive for industry to increase the recyclability of products and packaging, and the fiscal imbalance borne by the general tax base for the end-of-life management of these materials;

And whereas, the Region of Peel believes consistent EPR policy application across the country is key to achieving meaningful change in the product and packaging industries;

And whereas, the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) has released two discussion papers for consultation seeking to provide guidance on the development and implementation of a Canada-wide Action Plan for EPR programs, that includes a national sustainable packaging strategy;

Therefore be it resolved, that the CCME be advised that the Region of Peel:

b) believes that for EPR policies to be effective, they must include financial incentives and penalties, binding diversion targets, timely measurement and reporting, and effective enforcement; and

c) recommends that the list of products and materials proposed for EPR programs in section 4 of the discussion paper be expanded to include all products and materials currently designated under EPR programs in Ontario and the following additional products: diapers and incontinence products; and wood and wood composite products;

And further, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Ontario Minister of the Environment and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.

Additional Items – Items F1 to F4 inclusive:

F1. Employment Insurance (EI) Program (Oral)

RECOMMENDATION GC-92-2009:

Whereas, the Employment Insurance (EI) Program is meant to be the primary social safety net program for unemployed workers in Canada;

And whereas, the percentage of unemployed workers receiving EI drastically dropped following legislative changes by the federal government in the early and mid 1990s;

And whereas, the percentage of unemployed workers receiving EI in Ontario (30 per cent) and the Greater Toronto Area (22 per cent) are amongst the lowest in the country and well below the national average of 43 per cent;

And whereas, EI eligibility and duration of benefits are based on the number of hours worked and the regional unemployment rate in one’s area;

And whereas, the unemployment rate in Peel has more than doubled to 10.9 per cent in the first quarter of 2009 from 5.6 per cent in the first quarter of 2008;

And whereas, Peel Region has lost 77,000 jobs since the first quarter of 2008, including 20,000 manufacturing jobs;

And whereas, EI applicants are currently waiting 8 to 12 weeks to receive benefits, putting pressure on the social assistance system and imposing hardship on the applicants;

And whereas, the social assistance caseload in Peel reached 12,306 cases in April 2009, exceeding 12,000 cases for the first time since August 1995.

And whereas, the average monthly social assistance caseload in Peel for the period January 2009 to April 2009 is 20 per cent higher than it was for the same time last year;

And whereas, Ontario and Toronto CMA usually have lower unemployment rates than most other regions and workers therefore need to work more hours to qualify and receive EI benefits for a shorter duration;

And whereas, the average unemployed worker in Ontario receives nearly $4,630 less than the average unemployed worker in the rest of Canada;

And whereas, in 2002 Ontario contributed $4.6 billion more in EI contributions than it received in EI benefits and Toronto CMA contributed $2.4 billion in excess;

Therefore be it resolved, that the Federal government treat all unemployed workers equally across Canada by:

allowing more unemployed workers to be eligible for EI by reducing the number of work hours required to qualify, and

eliminating the regionalization of EI eligibility and benefits (which are tied to regional unemployment rates) and moving towards a system which is based on a minimum number of hours worked that would be the same across the country;

And further that the Federal government enhance benefits from current levels (55 per cent of claimant’s weekly average earnings);

And further that the Federal government eliminate the two week waiting period for EI.

F2. Fair Trade and Equal Access with the United States (Oral)

RECOMMENDATION GC-93-2009:

Whereas, the world’s economy has entered into a period of slow economic growth;

And whereas, Governments throughout the world have introduced various stimulus packages to encourage economic growth;

And whereas, the United States of America is Canada’s largest trading partner and a signatory of the North American Free Trade Agreement;

And whereas, the Greater Toronto Area Countryside Mayor’s Alliance is supportive of Free Trade between Canada and the United States which has existed for many years;

And whereas, the Government of the United States of America has introduced infrastructure stimulus packages including the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) which includes “Buy American” provisions for steel and other manufactured products;

And whereas, these restrictive provisions which are contrary to the spirit of free trade will prevent Canadian companies from bidding contracts which contain the “Buy American” provisions at the municipal and state levels in the United States since NAFTA and The General Procurement Agreement of the World Trade Organization do not nullify such provisions at those levels;

And whereas, Canadian stimulus infrastructure programs do not contain any restrictions on manufacturers from other countries including the United States bidding on such contracts in Canada;

And whereas, Canadian companies may be adversely affected by these restrictions possibly leading to lay-offs and financial losses and further could lead to the erosion of their overall ongoing viability;

And whereas, the Greater Toronto Area Countryside Mayor’s Alliance is supportive of Free Trade between the United States and Canada and that the restrictive “Buy American” provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act are contrary to the spirit of free trade;

And whereas, the Greater Toronto Area Countryside Mayor’s Alliance supports the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters in its quest to have the United States Congress reconsider and repeal their current “Buy American” requirements for the United States stimulus packages;

And whereas, the Greater Toronto Area Countryside Mayor’s Alliance supports the position that Canadian municipalities consider the feasibility of a procurement policy that future Canadian Infrastructure projects at the municipal level, including environmental projects such as water and wastewater treatment projects, require that any goods and materials required for the projects be bought only from companies whose countries of origin do not impose local trade restrictions against goods and materials manufactured in Canada to better ensure open, fair and competitive practices across the globe;

Therefore be it resolved, that The Regional Municipality of Peel supports the Greater Toronto Area Countryside Mayor’s Alliance resolution and the presentation of this resolution to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities for their consideration of endorsement, with a request that it be presented at its annual convention, June 5-8, 2009;

And further, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Prime Minister, the Premier of Ontario, the Federal and Provincial Ministers of Trade and Industry, AMO, CME, Region of Durham, Region of York, and Region of Halton.
